Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
At this moment, before noon, one luxurious carriage after another appeared outside the doors of the Escort Agency, coming to a slow stop.
Consequently, one by one, men dressed in marvellous garments disembarked from the carriages, each carrying a bundle of white flowers.
Any one of these people, if they were to step forward and stomp their foot, could cause the entirety of Lin’an County to tremble thrice.
Among them were the leaders of the four major trading companies, the heads of the various martial arts schools, and the patriarchs of the large families.
Ever since the incidents that occurred a few days ago.
Even if their hearts are full of doubts, they no longer dare to underestimate the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Although Jiang Zhenyuan has passed away, with Jiang Yuan now in power, the entire Zhenyuan Escort Agency has become all the more perplexing.
The events of these past days, one after another, have been extremely bizarre.
Three days have passed.
Li Hao, the head of the Shenwei martial arts school, had not been seen nor heard from since he appeared at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency that night.
As of now, not a trace of news about him has emerged; it’s as if he has completely disappeared from the world.
Some people say that Li Hao died at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency that night, or else, there would be news of him.
But this was a claim which no one believed.
Li Hao, at the apex of the eight stages of the Body Forging realm, was a formidable master who could not be defeated, let alone escape.
Unless there was someone stronger than him, who could concentrate his energy, spirit, and body as one.
Otherwise, even if he were defeated, he would easily be able to retreat.
However, how can there be so many who have reached that harmonized stage of attaining the ninth level in the Body Forging realm?
Before that night.
There had not been anyone in Lin’an County who could reach that level for many, many years.
If it weren’t for the abrupt display of Li Hong’s personal bodyguard, revealing his true power.
A master who has reached the ninth level of the Body Forging realm, whose energies, spirits, and bodies are all unified.
This situation would have continued.
From this, we can infer that there are very few powerful individuals who have reached the Body Forging realm’s ninth level.
After all, Lin’an County is but a small county, barely noticeable in the grand Dali Prefecture.
While extraordinary talents have emerged from here, they quickly rise and then fly far away.
In such a small place, it’s a waste of talent for any gifted individuals to reside permanently.
Because dragons can’t be bred in shallow water!
Without the intervention of these powerful individuals, Li Hao would not have died at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Moreover, when these powerful individuals make their move, their power is extraordinarily vigorous, and in the black night, they shine like a great sun.
How could they be unaware of them?
But even so, everyone knows that, even if Li Hao did not die at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, he must have been seriously injured.
Otherwise, with his temperament, after three days, he would have sought vengeance.
Remember, his only son tragically died that night.
His cherished wife and other relatives are now all in the dungeon.
With such profound hatred, not only would Li Hong be targeted, but so would the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
However, in the three days since, everything seems to be as if the incident never happened, and the whole Lin’an County is as calm as can be.
The only disturbance was the issue related to the Civilian Trading company.
Jiang Yuan had personally paid a visit to Civilian Trading, but almost nobody knew the specifics of what had happened.
However, after that, many people saw Civilian Trading deliver two boxes of silver to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency overnight.
Taking into consideration that Jiang Yuan entered Civilian Trading during the day, and after he left, Civilian Trading hastily sold some quality assets.
Who wouldn’t guess that it had something to do with Jiang Yuan?
After doing some digging, they were able to get some information from a person at the core of Civilian Trading.
When they learned that the swift sword Gu MO had slashed and killed Civilian Trading’s Great Ritual Officer in one stroke.
The moment this news exploded, everyone was so shocked they couldn’t say a word.
Nobody expected that Gu MO, renowned for his knife skills, hid his sword path so deeply. His swordsmanship was so transcendent that he could kill Civilian Trading’s Body Forging eight-level Great Ritual Officer with a single slash.
This achievement was too terrifying!
Although the Great Ritual Officer is old and his qi and blood have declined, he is still not as powerful as in his younger years.
But even an old tiger, still has its majesty.
If he were to go all out, who but a master of the equivalent level would dare claim they could fight him and not be defeated?
Yet Gu MO was able to kill him with a single stroke, indicating a strength that had fully surpassed the seventh level of the Body Forging realm, arguably invincible among his peers.
He could even cope with a typical eight-level Body Forging strongman.
After hearing this series of news.
Who dared not give face to Jiang Yuan?
With Gu Mo’s current performance, he will definitely reach the eight-level Body Forging realm in the future, and the ninth level is within reach.
He even has the potential to become as an Immortal.
His talent, shown at this time, ranks among the top ten in the entire history of Lin’an County.
Among those indviduals, there have been those who have become immortal, their lives lasting well beyond ordinary humans!
Just as everyone was orderly entering the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, preparing to offer flowers to the portrait of Jiang Zhenyuan.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind: “His Honor, the County Honor has arrived!”
The County Honor?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and hurriedly turned around to look.
They saw a lavish sedan slowly stopping at the entrance of the Escort Agency.
A middle-aged man in a green shirt, who seemed scholarly and amiable, pulled back the sedan curtain and walked out.
By his side, a man in black followed closely.
The man in black had a strong bow on his back.
Upon seeing these two men, everyone’s eyes instantly filled with apprehension.
The sole master who has reached the Body Forging ninth level in Lin’an County is here, producing an invisible pressure in everyone’s hearts.
Then they all retreated, making way for him.
“Greetings, Honor,” everyone said.
Li Hong nodded slightly, and then walked straight into the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
When he stepped into the courtyard and saw Jiang Yuan, a look of surprise filled his eyes.
His qi and blood were abundant, his energy was surging, and his heartbeat was akin to that of a drum.
This was clearly a symptom of the blood-exchange level.
He broke through twice in such a short period of time, was he fortunate to have encountered some opportunity, or was it due to his own talent being unearthed?
In the midst of his contemplation, Jiang Yuan saluted: “Honorable one is here!” Li Hong nodded with a smile.
“Having not seen you for so many days, I didn’t expect your skills to have improved so rapidly, I’m genuinely surprised,” he said.
Jiang Yuan smiled: “You can tell?”
“Of course!” Li Hong laughed: “Don’t underestimate my ability, my level might surprise you!”
Then, he suddenly asked seriously: “Jiang Yuan, would you like to join a Sect of Immortals?”
“A Sect of Immortals?” Jiang Yuan asked, taken aback: “Do you mean the
Immortals mentioned commonly by the mortals?”
“Exactly!”
Li Hong nodded slightly, adding: “If you want, I will ask my Sect, someone will come to verify whether you are qualified to join my Sect, the Sunset Sect.”
He looked deeply at Jiang Yuan: “Lin’an County is also under the jurisdiction of my Sunset Sect.”
Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation: “I want to, but I still have some matters to attend to!”
“There’s no rush. I will ask the Sect, but it will take some time. Even if you pass, you can join the Sect at a later date.”
“Thank you, Honor,”
Said Jiang Yuan..
